History
Go Dogs, located behind Shaffer Animal Hospital, is our professional grooming salon. Though the name is different, the high quality service and professional care your pet receives from Shaffer Animal Hospital is also applied at Go Dogs. Before Go Dogs opened it's doors in the spring of 2005, grooming was offered in the hospital building. Some of our senior patients received their first puppy baths in the Go Dogs tubs! The grooming staff takes pride in providing professional grooming and bathing for your dog. Many of our clients take advantage of the opportunity of having a veterinarian right next door. Minor health concerns or yearly health exams with vaccines can often be addressed while your dog is here for a bath or groom.
Specialties
Daycare: Our daycare is a little different in that our technicians work with the dogs throughout the day to encourage and promote polite behaviors with other dogs and when interacting with humans. Our focus is not only on giving them an ample source of exercise and mental stimulation, but sending them back home as a better behaved dog. Some of the skills we begin working on immediately are as follows: calling them out of play, drop it, sit politely for greeting, appropriate socialization with other dogs, comfort with collar grabs, handling, etc. Bathing & Grooming: Bath Package- Bath in high quality veterinarian grade shampoo (medicated shampoos available), Conditioner, Blow dry and brush out, Ears cleaned, Nails trimmed, Anal glands expressed externally on dogs less than 35 lbs, Cologne, Bandana or Bows * Baths are priced according to weight and hair length Full Groom Package Everything listed in the Bath and Mini Groom Packages above Mini Groom Package Everything listed in the Bath Package above-Hair around the paws and pads of feet are trimmed, Face is trimmed, Sanitary area is trimmed Puppy Grooms A puppy groom is similar to a mini groom.
